ABOUT THE PHOTO

The photo shows a typical day in the life of people at the Bottletree Cafe People from Birmingham, Alabama, meet here for the food and live music The photo was taken by Susan Seubert She specializes in travel photography and has worked all over the world

Her photos often appear in National Geographic Traveler magazine.

INTRODUCE THE THEME

In this unit, students will explore their personal relationships, and the different ways they learn and practice new skills

In Lesson A, students learn to talk about people and relationships They also practice the listening strategies of listening for gist and for details, and they learn how to make introductions Finally, they review describing habits, facts, and schedules, versus describing actions happening now, for a short time, or for an extended period In Lesson B, students talk about their classes and describe things they have learned to do They practice the reading strategies of understanding the main idea and summarizing what they have read Finally, they review the whole unit by talking about school experiences, and they write a paragraph about something they succeeded in learning.

On the board, write the title of the

unit, My Life Ask students to call

out any words connected with their life As this might be the first lesson of the course, encourage students to say any words connected with places they live, free-time activities, family and friends, etc The idea is to relax students and to show that their ideas are always welcome.

Look at the photo Answer the questions 5 min

Ask students to read the two questions and answer them individually or in pairs Then ask some students to share their answers with the class

WARM-UP VIDEO

Warm-Up 3–5 min

Write Afghanistan in the middle of

the board and ask students what they know about the country Write down any words they say When you have five or six words, explain that you are going to show a video

about a school in Afghanistan About the video

The School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA), a boarding school for Afghan girls and young women, was founded in 2008 SOLA is an Afghan- and US-registered non-profit organization whose aim is to

promote education and leadership opportunities for Afghan students It was cofounded by a young Afghan woman, Shabana Basij-Rasikh For many years, it was illegal for girls to go to school in Afghanistan Shabana was lucky because her father believed girls should be educated and, he sent his daughters to a secret school While studying at college in the US, she set up SOLA to help Afghan women be able to study After graduating, she returned to Kabul to continue her work with SOLA and advocating education for girls and women internationally.

also put them into small groups of three Ask them to plan a video called “My Life” by writing down the actions they will show in the video These actions could be written down as phrases or full sentences

For example, Getting up and brushing my teeth, having breakfast, going to school by bus Monitor students or the

groups and make suggestions where necessary At the end, ask each student to tell a partner or join two groups and have them read their actions

initiate (from within) serve (your country)

TEACHING TIP: Using English videos

Remind students to look at what is happening around the person who is talking in a video: where the person is, what objects or other people there are, what the other people are doing Noticing these aspects will help students understand the context of what they are listening to, and therefore help them understand what is being said.

A Watch a video about a day in the life of Shabana Basij-Rasikh and her students in Afghanistan Number these actions (1–5) in the order you see them 5 min

Before showing the video, allow time for students to read the five sentences and check they understand that they need to number them in the order they see them Note that when students watch a video for the first time, they often panic because of the level of the spoken language, so emphasize that they only need to watch the video to do this exercise; they don’t need to listen Play the video and then check their answers

B Read the sentences and then watch the video again Write the missing words 10 min

Before watching the video again, you could put students in pairs and ask them to read the sentences and try to guess what words might be missing You could also answer any questions about unknown words in the sentences Play the video again and then check their answers C Imagine you are making a

similar video about a day in your life What five actions do you want to show in the video? Tell a partner 10–15 min

Students could plan their video on their own but, to encourage speaking practice, you could

At some point in our lives, we all fail at something Maybe we don’t pass an important exam or get good grades Failure isn’t easy, but when things are hard, try not to give up You can still find success—as these two personal stories show.

1 BLACK is a successful Japanese entertainer,1

but as a teenager his life was very different In school, he was quiet and shy, and other boys bullied2 him People often said to him, “Play a sport!” but BLACK wasn’t good at sports Then one day, BLACK bought a yo-yo and his

life changed At first, he couldn’t do any tricks, but he didn’t give up He watched videos and worked hard for four years At age eighteen, he entered the World Yo-Yo Contest3 and won He was a world champion.4 Now he performs all over the world.

another student, or students, who have read the other part, or parts, of the text By sharing what they understood from their section with their partner or group, each student is then able to answer all the questions, complete the whole chart, summarize the main points of each section, etc This technique is effective because longer texts are made more accessible in class, and it provides an opportunity for meaningful communication— students have a genuine reason to talk to each other as they need each other’s information to complete the task.

Go over the directions with the class As students ask and answer the questions, tell them to use their own words when they answer Monitor, and help with simple past verbs as necessary After pairs have finished speaking, they should read about the other person and check that the notes they made are correct Clarify any vocabulary questions students still have Where possible, have other students in the class explain the vocabulary.

Summarize Tell students to read the Academic Skill box and make sure they understand that when they summarize, they should give general and important information rather than every single fact they read.

TEACHING OPTION: Listen and read 5 min

Every Lesson B reading text in

World Link comes with audio of

the reading so that students can listen and read the text Don’t play the audio when students are trying to read and find answers to questions Instead, play it

afterwards, as it’s a great way for students to hear how all the words are pronounced in the text and it’s a chance for them to sit back, listen, read, and enjoy!

LET’S EAT!

ABOUT THE PHOTO

The photo shows a traditional Turkish breakfast A Turkish family is eating delicious pastries with different types of jam, honey, and cheese There are fruits and vegetables such as figs, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers Their glasses have tea

In this unit, students will explore diet, food preferences, and healthy living.

In Lesson A, students watch a video about a traditional Mexican dish Students then learn to describe how different kinds of foods are prepared and how they taste They also practice the listening strategies of making predictions and listening for details, and they learn how to make and respond to suggestions Finally, they learn how to compare foods.

In Lesson B, students learn to talk about healthy diets and lifestyles They read about the best foods to eat in different situations,

practicing the reading strategies of reading for gist, and taking notes from a text They also talk about the best places to eat, and write a restaurant review Finally, they watch someone making a recipe and then they prepare and present their own recipe.

Start the class with a fun

vocabulary game Ask the class to call out ten letters from the alphabet at random and write them on the board Then put students into groups of three or four Tell students they have two minutes to think of ten words starting with the letters on the board and connected to the topic of food; so if one of the letters on the board was the

letter B, they might think of beef, bread, or bananas Some letters

will be harder than others, so they may have to think more broadly about the topic and list

food-related words like bowl, bistro, and baked.

Start the game Have teams raise their hands when they think they have ten words, or stop the game after two minutes If time runs out, find out which team thought of the most words You can repeat the game by writing ten new letters on the board and starting again

Ask students to read the three questions and answer them individually or in pairs Then ask

some students to share their answers with the class Note that it is not obvious what some of the foods are in the photo, but some

are easily recognizable (see About the photo) Overall, the food in the

photo looks very healthy; it is all fresh and there is a good balance of different food types.

With a small class, you could discuss these questions together With a large class, divide students into groups of three or four and discuss the questions Afterwards, they can report their group’s main answers.

a business in New York In the 1970s, grandmother Damiana

Bravo cooked the sauce mole

in her kitchen and sold it to her coworkers who missed the taste of their national dish from home Over the years, Damiana’s sauce became increasingly popular and the number of orders grew and grew In the end, it became the family business, and today, Damiana, her daughter, and her granddaughter make their special recipe every day, selling it to stores and restaurants all over New York City.

A Do you know which countries have these national dishes? Does your country have a national dish? 5–10 min

You could discuss these dishes as a class If you have internet access, the students could search for the dishes if they want to see what some of them look like Also, find out which of the dishes students have tasted When your students say the name of a dish from their country, encourage them to try to explain how it is made B Watch a video about mole

on For example, What is the best food if the weather is very cold? What is the best food when you are feeling sick? Add some more

suggestions to the board.

A Read for the gist Look quickly

at the title, photo, and first paragraph What is the main goal of the article? 5–10 min

Ask students to study the title and photo Ask them if the dish shown in the photo looks similar to any food in their country You could also ask if they would like to try this type of food Then have them read the first paragraph and the four possible answers (a–d).

Read for the gist Students can learn so much about a text before they read it in detail by looking at the title, image, and any introductory information in the first paragraph It helps them predict the type of language they need to look for when reading for specific information later in the text Have them try this technique when reading any text and sum up the general meaning or purpose of a text before continuing.

B Read the article What is the best food or drink for the people below? 5 min

As a class read the four sentences You could ask students to read each

comment aloud Ask students if they ever feel like any of the people and their comments Then have students read the rest of the text and find the best food for each person.

In their book What to Eat When, Dr Michael

Roizen and Dr Michael Crupain describe the benefits of eating certain foods in different situations.

When you’re going on a first date

Feeling nervous? Eat a sandwich with turkey and avocado Unlike sugar, these two foods give you energy slowly, so you feel calm.

When you don’t feel well

It’s the world’s oldest advice, but it’s true When you have a cold, eat plenty of chicken soup.Because it’s warm and salty, the soup is good for your throat It helps you breathe easier, too.

Are headaches your problem? If yes, eat more spinach Spinach can reduce pain and prevent headaches It’s also high in B vitamins, so make it part of your normal diet.

When you have a job interview

On the morning of the interview, eat a good breakfast It’s the most important meal of the day! A hot cereal, like oatmeal, is good because it gives you a lot of energy quickly and improves attention Also, coffee or tea can help you think better Have one or two cups forty-five minutes before the interview.

When you’re hangry

It’s late afternoon, and you’re in a bad mood because you’re hungry In other words, you’re

hangry!1What do you eat? Some people like to eat something sweet, but eating a snack like nuts or something high in protein2 is much better Protein reduces hunger more quickly, and it’s healthier than sweets.

EXTRA! Role-play making suggestions 5–10 min

For a fun role-play to follow up the

exercise in B, ask each student

to write down one problem or difficult situation they are having

(e.g., they are feeling tired or they have an important meeting later today) Then have students

work in pairs They should take turns telling their partner about their problem or difficult situation

and their partner should make suggestions about the type of food they could eat Remind students to use the expressions for making suggestions on page 20,

such as Why don’t you ? and How about eating ? This

exercise is a fun way to extend

the exercise in B, and it recycles

the language from earlier in the unit and provides fluency practice.

C Take notes Read the article

again and take notes in your notebook on why these types of food are good for you 5–10 min

Students need to scan the text for the types of food listed and find out why they are good for us Make sure they aren’t copying down whole sentences from the text but rather are writing down key words and phrases only Before you check the answers as a class, students can compare the words they wrote down with their partner’s.

Take notes When giving students reading texts, we often guide the reading with comprehension questions However, in the future students will need to read texts and take their own notes Note-taking requires students to make decisions independently of the guidance from a question, so it’s useful to encourage this type of reading skill at an early stage.

D Work in groups What do you think are the best foods to eat in these situations? Why? 10 min

Have students work in groups of three or four The groups should talk about each situation and each member should say what they would eat and why Encourage the groups to try to reach an agreement about what is the best food to eat for each situation if they can At the end, ask a spokesperson in each group to report back to the whole class on what foods were suggested and why.

TEACHING TIP: Organizing group discussion work

Group discussion work can sometimes become disorganized when some students talk a lot and some students don’t talk at all Also, when you need the group to report back, you often find no one has taken notes on the discussion and so the report is limited For write, or choose a student who

often talks the most—this role means they take a break from speaking so much and it lets others do the talking It’s also a good idea for the note-taker to be the spokesperson who reports back at the end

3 Once your students become used to working in groups like this, they can decide who is in charge and who will take notes.

effective group work it can be helpful to do the following:

1. Choose one student to be in charge of the group It is their job to make sure everyone has a chance to speak It’s best to choose a confident student for this role.

2. Choose another student to be the note-taker They need to write down the group’s answers This can either be a student who likes to listen and

1 What do you think is creating the mysterious

light in the photo? Guess.

2 Read the caption Can you explain this mystery?3 What other mysteries do you know about? Can

science explain them?

ABOUT THE PHOTO

This photo was taken by travel photographer Josselin Cornou Josselin took the photo one day when the sun had set and it was raining heavily The tunnel used to be busy when lots of trains traveled through the old train station in the small town of Helensburgh, in New South Wales, Australia Nowadays, glow worms that live in the tunnel create this beautiful light on rainy days.

In this unit, students will explore the ideas of luck and mysteries In Lesson A, students learn to talk about luck and being lucky They also practice the listening strategies of listening for gist and making predictions, and they learn how to say something is likely or unlikely They then learn how to use stative verbs in order to express states and emotions and, finally, review all the language learned in Lesson A by playing a game of luck.

In Lesson B, students learn the vocabulary for talking about theories and explanations They read about the Nazca Lines in Peru, practicing the reading strategies of making predictions and reading for the main ideas They also listen to a news report and study the modals of present

possibility (may, might, could, can’t ) Finally, they write and

talk about unsolved mysteries, and watch a video about an archaeologist who studies mysteries of the past in Egypt.

Write A mystery on the board

and ask students to try to explain what it means If students find it challenging, ask them this

question: Is it something we can explain and understand or something we cannot explain or understand? (cannot) Then teach

students the adjective form of the

noun, which is mysterious Invite a

student to make sentences using

both forms of the word (e.g., The Loch Ness Monster is a mystery / The story of the Loch Ness Monster is mysterious.)

Ask students to read question 1 and look at the photo without reading the caption Let them speculate about what is creating the light before they read the caption (The glow worms

create the mysterious light in the photo.) Finally, for question 3, discuss other mysteries as a class Students’ ideas may vary depending on which country or countries they come from, but some well-known mysteries include the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, the statues on Easter Island, Black Holes in the universe, the lost city of Atlantis, the Nazca Lines in Peru, and Stonehenge in the UK.

C In pairs, close your books and retell the story of Frane Selak Try to remember each unlucky event and why he was lucky in 2003 10–15 min

Have students practice retelling the story they have watched by remembering the events They can do this by memory, but another option is to play the video again with the sound off As students watch the silent video, they can describe to their partner what is happening on the screen and, in this way, retell the story.

About the video

This animated video tells the story of Frane Selak, a music teacher from Croatia who has been involved in a number of serious accidents and has lived to tell his story Selak claims he escaped death seven times between 1962 and 1996; each time in accidents involving some form of transportation But Selak’s bad luck finally turned in 2003, when he bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot Given all these events in his life, Selak is known as the “luckiest unlucky man to ever live”!

Warm-Up 5 min

Write the words lucky and unlucky

on the board

Elicit different examples of what might happen to both types

of people For example, lucky people win money, unlucky people never win money.

A Watch a video about Frane Selak, “the luckiest unlucky man to ever live.” Number the events in the correct order 10 min

Give students time to read the seven sentences Then check they understand the meaning of each sentence For example, you might need to explain that to “burst into flames” is when something suddenly starts burning Remind them that they won’t need to understand every word in the video and that they should be able to complete the exercise by just watching the video.

B Watch again Match the events in A (1–7) to the reasons why

Frane was lucky (a–g)

10 min

Again, before playing the video, students should read the events listed and ask about any unknown vocabulary If students have understood a lot from the first viewing, you could have them try to match the sentences before watching.
